Palaeolithic Man and Terramara Settlements in Europe

Abstract

LAST year Dr. Robert Munro founded a lectureship in the University of Edinburgh to popularise the results of research in anthropology and prehistoric archæology, which have recently become so important and interesting. He himself gave the inaugural course, and these lectures have now been published in a copiously illustrated volume, which will be welcomed equally by the general reader and the student. In the first part Dr. Munro summarises our present knowledge of Palæolithic man in Europe, while in the second part he gives a more detailed account of the Terramara settlements of the Po valley in northern Italy, to which he himself has paid special attention. In all cases the readable text is accompanied by ample references to the literature of the subject.
